Everyone migrated to Israel, it’s literally an ancient migration route.
In more modern times, Israel had many Jewish communities that the local Muslims tried to eradicate.
Some of them successfully, and in such cases the local Palestinians are migrants that kicked off the local Jews.
So to be accurate, the first mass migration of Jewish communities into Israel in modern times happened from Eastern Europe and Yemen.
We need to differentiate, as at the same time, Muslims migrated too into Israel.
Some of them got royally fucked by history, they left the little they had, migrated for better work and were left with nothing for generations.
The region has been a site of religious, not ethnic, conflict. Jews that converted to Islam were able to stay in the Caliphate, the idea that all ethnic Jews were expelled is a myth. There was a lot of emigration, but the truth is that many of the Muslim Palestinians today are descendants of ancient Jewish people.
Claiming that Palestinians are just invaders that stole Jewish land is bad history.
We’re talking about the first migrants to Israel. Indigenous Jewish people didn’t migrate to Israel, did they?
